Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to control systems for a rolling mill. More specifically, the present invention relates to detecting abnormalities in rolling stock placed on a cooling bed and determining setpoints for control systems, for avoiding the abnormalities in subsequent rolling stocks.
  • a typical rolling mill involves a series of dynamic events, usually working processes involving hot material (e.g., molten steel in the form of billets or rebars).
  • hot material e.g., molten steel in the form of billets or rebars.
  • process parameters e.g., stress applied on the hot material, strain on the hot material, temperature of rolling, and the like
  • initial set points of actuators in the rolling mill e.g., initial set points of actuators in the rolling mill
  • parameters of the hot material are considered for various monitoring and control mechanisms.
  • the rebars are delivered to a cooling bed to undergo cooling. Once the rebars are cooled, the cooled rebars are provided to a finishing and inspection bay. The rebars are moved through different processes in the rolling mill using conveyors at high speed.
  • the rebars are dropped on the cooling bed using rotating channels after receiving from a pinch roller which reduces the speed of movement of the rebars. Although the pinch roller reduces the speed, the rebars fall on the cooling bed unevenly. Few rolling mills employ manual operators to align the rebars on the cooling bed. Few other rolling mills use aligning rollers which are controlled by motors to align the rebars on the cooling bed. The conventionally used aligning rollers push the rebars towards a hard surface to align the rebars on the cooling bed. Hence, the rebars are damaged and fail quality test. Further, the aligning rollers may not be available to align each rebar as number of aligning rollers are limited in a rolling mill.
  • the existing aligning rollers may not align rebars mis-aligned by a large extent.
  • conventional aligning of the rebars reduces productivity and misaligned rebars on the cooling bed affects quality of the rebars during subsequent processes.
  • the structural properties of the rebars are established on the cooling bed. If the rebars are misaligned (e.g., rebars rolled over other rebars), it results in structural defects. Often, defective rebars have to be replaced, thus reducing plant productivity and increasing downtime.
  • DE 34 02 813 A1 relates to a control of separating and braking means for the positionally correct braking of partial lengths in run-up roller tables of cooling beds behind fine-steel or medium-steel rolling mills, wherein the determination of the rolling stock speed and the braking path of the partial lengths takes place in dependence on the head or tail end passing through, in that measured values for the rolling stock speed are calculated from the transit time in the region of successive sensors forming a measuring section, and the time for actuation of the separating and braking means for overrunning the partial length onto the longitudinal section of the braking means and the start of the braking process are calculated and triggered as a function thereof, characterized in that, if additional braking magnets are used as magnets for the braking process, the braking process is triggered at the start of the braking process.
  • the present invention relates to a method according to claim 1 and a control system according to claim 6 for delivering rolling stock to a cooling bed of a rolling mill.
  • a rolling bed comprises one or more actuators to deliver the rolling stock (e.g., rebars) to a receiving end of the cooling bed.
  • the control system is configured to perform the method steps.
  • the control system captures a plurality of images of the rolling stock placed on the cooling bed.
  • the plurality of images may be captured from at least a lateral side (perpendicular to receiving end of cooling bed) and a transverse side (parallel to receiving end of the cooling bed) of the cooling bed.
  • one or more abnormalities are detected.
  • one or more setpoints are determined required to avoid the one or more abnormalities in subsequent rolling stock.
  • the one or more setpoints may be provided to the one or more actuators in the rolling mill. When the one or more actuators are operated according to the one or more setpoints, the one or more abnormalities are avoided in subsequent rolling stock being delivered to the cooling bed.
  • the one or more abnormalities comprises at least one of, a mis-alignment in the rolling stock placed on the cooling bed, gaps in the rolling stock placed on the cooling bed and lack of grooves on the rolling stock placed on the cooling bed.
  • an end portion of the rolling stock is detected using the plurality of images of the rolling stock. Further, a reference point is generated on the cooling bed and an amount of deviation of the end portion of the rolling stock from the reference point on the cooling bed is determined.
  • the mis-alignments are reduced for subsequent rolling stock by operating the one or more actuators according to the one or more setpoints.
  • One or more process parameters related to the one or more braking pinch rolls configured to pass the rolling stock and one or more channels configured to receive the rolling stock from the braking pinch rolls and deliver the rolling stock onto the cooling bed are determined. Further, one or more parameters of the rolling stock are determined when the rolling stock is delivered from the one or more channels to the cooling bed, using the plurality of images. Thereafter, one or more setpoints are determined for controlling a delivery speed of the subsequent rolling stock based on the one or more parameters of the one or more process parameters of braking pinch rolls and the one or more channels. The one or more setpoints are provided to the one or more channels to control the delivery speed of the subsequent rolling stock onto the cooling bed for placing the rolling stock substantially near to the reference point.
  • the one or more process parameters related to the braking pinch rolls comprises at least one of, a pressure applied by the braking pinch rolls on the rolling stock and a speed of passing the rolling stock
  • the one or more process parameters related to the one or more channels comprises at least one of, a delivery speed of the rolling stock, a friction factor of the rolling stock into the one or more channels from the braking pinch rolls, a distance of the one or more channels from the braking pinch rolls, and a length of the one or more channels.
  • the one or more parameters of the rolling stock comprises at least one of, a length of the rolling stock on the cooling bed, a distance of the rolling stock from the reference point on the cooling bed and a mass of the rolling stock placed on the cooling bed.

  • problems such as mis-alignments of rolling stock exist.
  • the mis-alignments of the rolling stock exist on the cooling bed. Due to the mis-alignments, subsequent processes may not be carried out productively. Also, the mis-alignments may directly impact quality of the rolling stock. Furthermore, production downtime adds up due to correcting the mis-aligned rolling stock.
  • the mis-alignments may be caused due to uneven/ uncontrolled delivery of the rolling stock to the cooling bed.
  • the rolling stock are dropped on the cooling bed using one or more actuators.
  • the conventional actuators do not drop the rolling stock such that the rolling stock are aligned when they are dropped on the cooling bed.

  • the rebars (105e) falls on the cooling bed (106), the gaps are not same between the rebar (105e) and an adjacent rebar (105d).
  • a reason for non-uniform temperature can originate from a faulty control system which may be responsible for forced cooling of the rebar (105e), or due to degradation in material composition, or improper temperature profile when a billet is discharged from a preheating furnace to the rolling mill (100).
  • An operator in the rolling mill (100) may determine a cause of the bends in the rebar (105e) and take appropriate measures to generate the one or more setpoints. For example, the furnace temperature may be adjusted such that the billet is received at the rolling mill (100) at a correct temperature.
  • Figure 9 is an illustration of detecting lack of grooves on rolling stock (105a, 105b, 105c, 105d) placed on a cooling bed (106).

  • the design of ribs or grooves ensure the constructions owing to the strength of the bond with the concrete. However, often, the ribs or grooves are not present in few rebars (105b, 105c).
  • Such rebars (105c) are identified manually and rolling machines (901a, ..., 901n) are inspected to determine the fault . This decreases productivity and increases downtime.
  • the present invention detects the lack of grooves and/ or non-uniformity of the grooves on the rebars (105a, 105b, 105c, 105d). Further, the present invention determines one or more setpoints for the grooving machine to groove the rebars (105a, 105b, 105c, 105d).
  • the control system (110) detects a surface of the rebars (105a, 105b, 105c, 105d) using the plurality of images. Further, the control system (110) determines one or more geometry parameters for the detected surface to identify absence of grooves and /or non-uniform grooves on the surface of rebars (105a, 105b, 105c, 105d). For example, pixel intensity in the plurality of images may be used to determine the geometry parameters. As seen in Fig. 9 , the rebars (105b, 105c) may have different pixel intensity compared to other rebars (e.g., 105d). The change in pixel intensity may indicate a change in geometric parameter (lack of grooves).
  • Such rebars (1-5b, 105c) having lack of grooves or non-uniform grooves may be notified to the operator.
  • the lack of grooves or the non-uniform grooves are notified to the operator and timely inspection can be performed.
  • subsequent rolling stock may be devoid of the abnormalities such as lack of grooves and/ or non-uniform grooves.
  • the present invention provides a closed-loop feedback to ensure one or more abnormalities are avoided in the rolling stock (105a, ..., 105n). Therefore, substantial amount of downtime is reduced and the productivity is increased. Also, high quality of the rolling stock (105a, ..., 105n) is ensured.
